Integrate with Square!

[raycharbonneau]

Suggestion: integrate with Square credit card readers for mobile devices. It would be really cool if I could swipe someone's credit card and automagically send them a link to my digital product.



Who else likes this idea?

LOVE IT.

Thanks for the suggestion! We'll add that to the wishlist for consideration as a possible new payment option. :^) However, at present it doesn't look like they provide any public API for Web-based services like us to integrate with. :^/

[xiataptara]

Now it does. Any thought on integration?

[E-junkie_Guru]

We'll certainly add that to the list for consideration after our new Admin panel goes live. :^)

[xiataptara]

Thanks for the quick response. I am excited!

Would this be the Admin panel that will be rolled out in 1st Qtr? <g>



Just poking you. Hope you are getting close. It will make a big difference. I think Stripe will be an easier integration that Square from what I've read.

[E-junkie_Guru]

Yup, that would be the one. :^) Development keeps saying lately we're down to an ETA of "a week or so" for completion of the new Admin, so we're closing in on it fast; they just keep finding new wrinkles to iron out as they tie up all the loose ends, so that's been taking more time than they anticipated but bodes well for rapid QA.



Thanks for the tip about Stripe vs. Square, we'll keep that in mind. :^)

One more vote for Square integration

[dianneheidke]

YES! Please...having to do all the woocommerce stuff and square integration is a total pain! Would much rather continue on with the very simple check out format that ejunkie offers.

[E-junkie_Guru]

Good news, then -- Development just mentioned they'll be working on Square integration, so if that goes smoothly without any show-stopping complications, we should be able to start supporting card checkouts via Square pretty soon.

God bless you all! Been trying to jury-rig it myself for months with other inferior carts. Can't come soon enough-- how will we know when it's ready? When you say soon-- like weeks, months? I'd be happy to beta test!

[E-junkie_Guru]

We can't predict how soon Development would have it done, but when ready we'll announce it in our Service Status & Updates forum category and also post a followup here.

Any update on a potential timeline for Square integration? I was hoping to get it going on my site by Q3/4.

[juliekieras]

Has there been any progress on getting Square integration? Paypal fees keep rising - Square has slightly better rates for small value transactions.

[E-junkie_Guru]

I'll ask Development about their status in building Square integration.
